Yep. Real silly, but that seems to be the design.
I swear my car is running better after the regen. I clocked the fuel consumption on a 15km steady, flat constant 100km/hr stretch on the way home and got 4.2l/100km, which I think Is ~ 20% better than I've seen in similar conditions. It's hard to conclude anything after one short test so will keep an eye on it. Feels more responsive too, but I don't drive it often so maybe in my head.
I'd like to get an idea of what normal DPF soot loading range is. Mine was at 75% which seems high to me. Not sure why it seemingly bottomed out at 25% either. Maybe it's normal?
